I'm looking for some assistance in creating a spell used to tune a musical instrument. The spell Reparo is canon, and seems to work with things that are broken. However, the instrument in question is not broken, per se; it's simply out of tune.

Additionally, I found the word "organum" (it seems to mean musical instrument in Latin) and vox, which I'm certain is "voice".

Well, intendo fidem could work as intendo is 'I tune' and fides is a musical instrument (I think it refers a bit more specifically to a stringed instrument so not sure if that would work for you or not?)

I also had a thought that you could possibly use something like corrigo sonum or emendo sonum which would roughly translate to 'I correct the pitch'.

Hope that helped,

EDIT: I just thought of another possibility - adstringo nervos - 'I tighten the strings'.

I'm writing a J/L fic, and I need a spell that Lily would know that would repel a beast, and at least momentarily defeat it. I don't want it like Expelliarmus or Stupify because it should be something original. Please help!

Off the top of my head the phrace "rego animal" comes to mind. "rego" means "I control", hence it could mean to keep the beast away. I just moved, however, and am lacking in dictionary at the moment, so that's as much help as I can be.

Rego animal would work, and rego has the advantage of also meaning 'I rule' or 'control'. If you wanted a more defensive word, then repello would be better - it means 'I repell' or 'push back', or depello - 'I drive away'.

accio ( summoning)

Ok, I went to the wrong thread, but now I'm here!

I'm having a character "Accio" a human being, which in my view is the height of rudeness.
But, I need a charm to slow down the velocity so the character isn't splattered on contact with the ground, but only rumpled up real good! Thanks
